I hadn't seen that one before. Thanks for posting it. Although, I'd have to say, the "destruction" isn't quite so great.
Boohoo, the clutch is hard. I wonder what the clutch in a Murci is like. Or a Ferrari. IMO, not a big deal.
4MPG while flogging it? Well, duh. I'd imagine that under WOT conditions, similar cars (in performance) wouldn't fare much better. Anyone know the petrol use of a GT3 at WOT? There's really no reason to be driving it 'round town at WOT all the time anyhow.
Turning radius? I can't believe it was that bad...legitimate gripe.
Gas? I have no idea what this Shell OptiMax petrol is. Is that what shell calls VMax in the states? I suppose this could be a legitimate gripe. Remember, though, performance cars have for quite some time been requiring 93 octane.
The part about it undressing itself shouldn't happen, either.
The rest of it? Just griping to take it down a notch, basically. Notice no comments on the crazyness that is a Murci or Ferrari.
Tobra, was that a regular Evo in that article? I hate to say it, but the FQ-400 would likely put them to quite shame on a track, nothing close about it.
Slower than a diesel wagon? How entirely misleading. 0-60 in 3.5s. Hmmm...Come on now, who DOESN'T realize that turbo cars have...turbo lag? Seriously, my 2.0L stock Golf would probably **** its internals on the ground if I had it in 5th at 30, let alone go anywhere. The comparison in the video was NOT legitimate at all. How come did they didn't do a 60-120 roll on starting in....3rd?
I think I'd still rather like a 911 (993) although the performance for the dollar of some of the Japanese cars is undeniable.
